About this file
This is a Semi-Annual Inspection Report for water-based fire protection systems at VA Grand Junction Building 13 in Grand Junction, Colorado, completed on December 16, 2025, by James Trudeau of Platinum Fire Protection. The inspection was conducted in accordance with NFPA 25 2011 - Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems.
The report identifies eleven deficiencies across multiple categories. Control valve supervision and identification issues constitute the primary findings: three deficiencies address control valves (including backflow preventer isolation valves) that are not secured with seals, locked, or supervised; not properly identified with signs; and not properly identified with locks or electrical supervision. Additional deficiencies include two gauges due for replacement that are not showing normal water supply pressure; mechanical waterflow alarm devices that failed testing due to absence of inspector's test valves, with only manual testing performed; electrical waterflow alarm devices similarly tested manually without flow observation; two inspector's test connections lacking smooth orifice termination, accessibility, and signage; and three valve-specific deficiencies involving lint trap backflow valves (#1 and #2, both 1-1/4 inch ball valves) and a lint trap butterball valve (1 inch) located outside the break room, all lacking required seals, supervision, and proper signage. The inspector certified that all equipment was left in operational condition upon completion of the inspection except as noted in the deficiencies.
